  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 5 people

Ingredients

  • 1 lb lean ground beef
  • ½ large yellow onion, diced
  • 2 tsp garlic, minced
  • 1 oz onion soup mix (just the dry mix)
  • 1 cup frozen peas and carrots (or preferred vegetables)
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 10 oz cheese-filled tortellini (about 3 cups refrigerated kind)
  • 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, brown the ground beef and diced onion until the beef is fully cooked and the onion is tender. Drain excess fat.
  2. Add the garlic and onion soup mix to the skillet. Cook for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add the frozen peas and carrots and pour in the beef broth. Stir to combine and bring to a boil.
  4. Stir in the cheese tortellini. Cover and cook for about 7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tortellini is tender.
  5. Reduce heat to low, then stir in the sour cream and shredded Gruyère cheese until melted and fully combined.
  6. Season with black pepper to taste and serve warm.

Notes

  • For deeper flavor, caramelize the onions first by cooking them low and slow for 15–20 minutes before adding the beef.
  • Use any frozen veggies you like—corn, green beans, or broccoli work well.
  • Swap Gruyère with mozzarella or Swiss if preferred.
  • This dish reheats well—perfect for leftovers!
